Our blog explores what it is like to be a bungalow owner, and how to do-it-yourself if you're not really a do-it-yourself-er. We explore old bungalow living, report on bungalow events, and discuss craftsman-style bungalows -- without an *arts-and-crafts-style or die* attitude.

Crocker Art Museum, featuring home of the Railroad baron, Crocker

We checked out the Crocker Art Museum recently and were fascinated to visit the home of Crocker, the railroad baron. Crocker was one of the original backers of the transcontinental railroad. The museum is gorgeous and a must see in the Sacramento area!

The Crocker Art Museum is more than a place for objects. It's a place for tours and talks, film and photography, art classes, and they even have a cafe.

From March 19-June 25, visit the Crocker to enjoy the new exhibition, "Forbidden Fruit: Chris Antemann at Meissen."

About Our Blog

In 2003, we abandoned apartment living. Rejecting the wild prices of plain looking ranch-style and Eichler houses on the San Francisco Peninsula, we instead searched for a house with character. We found it in the form of a bungalow in the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland.

The big question: did we get more character than we bargained for?

We aren't contractors, designers, architects, or builders. We never thought of ourselves as do-it-yourself-ers. But, our old bungalow had other plans for us. And now we have an amazing 3-year-old, making things even more interesting.
